It's amazing what's possible when the backups are owned by a different user whose storage the pwnd accounts don't have permissions to access.

This plan was clearly not thought through anymore thoroughly than crimecoins themselves.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

There's value in quantifying the effects to develop guidelines about when you're too wiped to work.

Some years back I did a project involving fatigue management for people working irregular shifts. The biggest talking point level takeaway from that project is if you pull an all-nighter from a fully rested start the next day your impairment in reaction time/ability to operate a vehicle will be at levels between a 0.05 and 0.08 BAC level. If you were short on sleep already you're likely to be at above DUI equivalent levels of impairment the entire day.

The model we used was derived from reaction times only; and I've been curious about if impacts on other types of cognitive abilities were equally impacted.

I know my quality of work on less than 3h of work is poor enough that if insomnia (or a book I can't put down) keeps me away to within 3h of my alarm going off I take the day off because I know even if caffeinated stupid in an attempt to compensate I'll end up spending most of the next day cleaning up my own messes.

Quantum communication is a strange beast, but one of the weirdest proposed forms of it is called counterfactual communication - a type of quantum communication where no particles travel between two recipients.

"I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics"

Counterfactual sounds like it might be a great replacement for 'fake news'

it is called counterfactual communication - a type of quantum communication where no particles travel between two recipients.

I am wondering... how will they call it, when two particles travel between no recipients?

A license agreement John Deere required farmers to sign in October forbids nearly all repair and modification to farming equipment, and prevents farmers from suing for "crop loss, lost profits, loss of goodwill, loss of use of equipment … arising from the performance or non-performance of any aspect of the software." The agreement applies to anyone who turns the key or otherwise uses a John Deere tractor with embedded software. It means that only John Deere dealerships and "authorized" repair shops can work on newer tractors.

Caveat Emptor.

I think time is coming that those companies with "give me your first child" user agreements get a big kick in their balls.
